Don’t let it go

Verse 1

Did we try everything, or did we just pretend?

Did you forget what we were before the end?

I keep forgetting what I forgot back then

Running in circles, asking questions again

I only had you, you only had me

Now we talk in echoes of who we used to be

We tried to make amends, called it “friends” instead

Standing close enough to see, too far to feel your hand

Pre-Chorus

I don’t wanna be a memory you pass

Or a face you see like broken glass

I don’t wanna wave from across the room

I wanna be the one you’re running to

Chorus

So take my hand, don’t let it go

I’ve got so much to say, but it’s all too slow

Every word gets stuck in my throat

I’m scared of saying it, scared you already know

Take my hand, just try once more

Nothing prepared me for what love endures

I still believe it can be pure

I still believe it can be sure

Verse 2

Now we’re distant friends with careful smiles

Counting every word, every step, every mile

I see you laughing like nothing’s wrong

And I wonder how you learned to move on

I lie awake replaying nights

Where everything felt almost right

If I’d said more, if I’d stayed still

Would you be holding me against your will?

Pre-Chorus 2

I don’t wanna be the “what if” sound

The almost-love you talk around

I don’t wanna fade into “before”

I wanna be what you reach for

Chorus

So take my hand, don’t let it go

I’ve got so much to say, but nothing shows

Every time I try, my voice goes low

Like my heart’s afraid you’ll say no

Take my hand, let me take you far

Somewhere we don’t know who we are

Where love’s not heavy, love’s not hard

Where we don’t leave pieces in the dark

Bridge

Maybe I’m late, maybe you’re gone

Maybe I held on for too long

But every road still leads to you

No matter what I say I’ll do

You said the song was happy

I said it was sappy, but true

If loving you is foolish

Then I don’t know what’s left to lose

Final Chorus / Outro

So take my hand, just for tonight

Let’s not decide what’s wrong or right

I don’t need promises or proof

I just need one moment of truth

Take my hand, don’t walk away
